Hello friends. We just got home from a weekend trip celebrating my dad’s 70th birthday. We made some fun memories making meals together, canoeing and painting gourds. My heart is so full.
1. A library in every room…
This home has a mini library in every room. Love it! Here’ the home tour.
2. The Artist’s Way
After a season of burnout (oops) I promised my sister I’d do The Artist’s Way. Does anyone have tips? I’m excited!
3. Timeless advice
“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”
-Virginia Woolf
4. Ladybug pins
These are so cute.
5. Carsick Cure
One of my kids gets carsick and pretty much any roadtrip in our region includes hilly drives. We tried these motion sickness glasses and they worked well!
6. Christmas PJs
Let’s just say I like to be prepared. Here’s the matching adult pair (I’m going to match with my kids until they don’t think it’s fun anymore). I’m also loving these kids craft kits (I’m starting to prep advents for my kids and their cousins and this years will be heavy on crafts).
7. Verity
We finally saw Verity with a group of friends this week (it makes a great group activity) and I’m sorry to say the 33% on Rotton Tomatoes is not unearned. I was hoping it would be an iconic campy movie like Jennifer’s Body. But it’s ok! I loved Anne Hathaways creepy voice.
Please send me your favorite Spooky Season movies!
8. Fall Shopping
My closet is full, but I’m always going to add a couple pieces in my favorite season. This year I added this dress, this jacket, this cardigan, this tote and this coat.
9. TBR
In last week’s newsletter I asked for book recommendations and I thought it would be fun to share the three most recommended books (I haven’t read any of these, but I’m looking forward to them):
-Into The Blue by Emma Brodie
-The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett
-The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne
